Description

Herbert Morton Stoops (1888-1948) Magazine Story Illustration
(1924). This powerful work by Herbert Morton Stoops was most
likely published in Blue Book Magazine. His illustrations
additionally appeared in national publications, including
Collier's and Cosmopolitan; but it was with Blue
Book, contributing historical, western, and adventure covers
and interior illustrations that he is most remembered. This
painting is a fine, painterly example of his black and white
adventure work. Though some of the notations on the back of the
stretcher and canvas are indecipherable, a portion of a label
remains noting the artist's name (painted by H. W. Stoops) and the
publication date of November, 1924. It is rendered in oil on
canvas, and measures 28 x 26.
